Chapter Fifty-Nine: Chu Qiao Returns to Nanhuai
Nan Huai Guo Tian Mu Yuan
Three months have passed...
The autumn breeze blows, and in the flowery courtyard, the lush branches of the hibiscus trees sway with the wind, and the blooming hibiscus flowers exude a light fragrance, refreshing the heart.
In the pavilion, Chu Qiao was wearing a blue brocade long skirt, embroidered with magnolia fancy on the skirt, with a white shape-shaped brocade belt, and a front blue black jade waist chain in front of the belt, a light gauze coat was draped over her body, and her long, black hair was loosely tied behind her, sitting on a bamboo chair, looking intently at the bamboo slips in her hand.
A wisp of fragrance wafts from the bronze incense burner on the table, mixed with the scent of hibiscus flowers in the garden, which makes people feel refreshed.
Chu Haoran, who walked into the garden slowly, saw that Chu Qiao was reading a book, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
After returning from Qingfeng Mountain, Chu Qiao began to slowly take over the affairs of the Cold Ice Pavilion, and had a detailed grasp of the internal functions of the Cold Ice Pavilion.
The Cold Ice Pavilion is divided into three branches, the first is the Jian Division, which is in charge of intelligence, and now the spy division is in Daliang, Yanbei, Nanhuai, Dawei and other major places. The second is the Clamp Department, which is in charge of the penal system, and obliterates the target of the defection or assassination mission to confirm the heinous crime of the person. The third is the Palu Hall, which is in charge of money and materials, and of course it is also the richest department, which means to take money and good luck.
Chu Haoran stood outside the pavilion and called softly: "Qiao'er, it's time for lunch." ”
Chu Qiao, who was concentrating on the bamboo slip in his hand, looked at the book slip with starlight eyes like interest,
What is written on the book is a battle between the two armies, the deployment of the generals of the two sides and the process of the battle drills, as well as the results, which are described in great detail and make people have endless memories, and from time to time they still write something on the paper.
Chu Haoran walked lightly to Chu Qiao's side, turned sideways and looked down, it doesn't matter if he doesn't look at it, he glanced at it, suddenly raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth twitched, and there was warm anger brewing in his eyes, and there was a little helplessness.
"Qiao'er, the level of this painting is getting better and better, look at this person's painting. That's amazing! ”
Chu Qiao felt like thunder in his ears, Chu Haoran's deep voice sounded, Chu Qiao immediately turned his head to look at the person beside him, frowned, and looked at Chu Haoran very unpleasantly.
"Chu Haoran, what do you want to do!"
"Qiao'er, they all said that I am your father, you should call me daddy! It's not a name~ Besides, what are you drawing! Did you ever draw your dad like this!! ”
"It's not you, then I drew it casually, it's not like I'm fascinated by reading a book..."Chu Qiao looked at Chu Haoran's face was slightly red, like a child who was caught doing something bad, and explained embarrassedly.
Looking at Chu Qiao on the child's side, Chu Haoran also smiled helplessly with relief, "Qiao'er, it's time for lunch!" ”
"Oh, let's go. What are you going to eat at noon today..."Chu Qiao diverted the topic, pulled Chu Haoran's sleeve out of the pavilion, and walked forward.
"It's all your favorite,... You go slower... Mo'er hasn't finished class yet, don't worry. Chu Haoran, who was dragged away, had a happy and satisfied smile on his face.
The two came to the dining table and sat down, looking at the rich table, but there was still one person missing.
Chu Qiao was thinking about when Mo'er would come, when he heard a childish voice from the door, "Mo'er is so hungry, Uncle Hangan, what is delicious!" ”
"It's so much more delicious, there is your favorite roast pigeon, and duck legs."
"Do you want to eat with us at noon today? I haven't seen her in days! Mo'er pouted, indicating her unhappiness.
"Mo'er, I haven't seen you for a few days, why can you hang an oil bottle in your little mouth~" Chu Qiao looked at the two people who entered the room, especially Mo'er's high little mouth, which was very cute.
Hearing Chu Qiao's voice, Mo'er immediately looked at Chu Qiao, and happily ran towards Chu Qiao with her calves. The pair of smart ink-colored pupils looked at Chu Qiao with a wink, revealing a happy smile.
"Mother, Mo'er misses you, you haven't had lunch with Mo'er for a few days!" Mo'er's mouth, which was originally smiling, suddenly pouted, and she overdid it with a little emotion.
Chu Qiao turned his head, pinched his face, and said with a light smile: "Mo'er, sit down to eat first, you see that everyone is waiting for you, and grandpa should punish you for standing on a stake in a while!" ”
Mo'er immediately turned her head to look at Chu Haoran, revealing an innocent expression, and said in a sweet and immature voice: "Grandpa is the most handsome in the world, and he loves Mo'er the most, so he won't punish Mo'er, right!" ”
Chu Qiao listened to Mo'er patting Chu Haoran's ass, which was quite smooth, and couldn't help but pull the bench for him and let him sit down.
"Mo'er, you are doing well today, you can soak in a medicinal bath for half an hour more as a reward!"
Chu Haoran looked at the mischievous Mo'er, nodded and said with a smile.
"Don't, mother~ Save Mo'er, Mo'er don't soak in the medicine bucket for half an hour, the blisters are uncomfortable, like a small insect scratching, Mo'er don't want it... Mo'er don't want it..."Hearing Chu Haoran say that he would add a medicinal bath for half an hour, his little face drooped down suddenly, and he became miserable and pitiful, looking at Chu Qiao with watery eyes.
Chu Qiao looked at the watery eyes, and said helplessly: "You know that I can't help this decision, he is the biggest!" I have to listen to him, or I'll accompany you when you soak, okay. ”
Mo'er looked at pretending to be pitiful, so he could only turn his head to look at Chu Haoran again, only to see Chu Haoran looking at him with slightly squinted eyes, and when a smile was about to appear on his kind face, he immediately said loudly: "Mo'er knows, mother~ You have to accompany Mo'er to finish soaking." ”
"Okay, I'll come with you, let's eat first, there are a lot of things you like to eat today, let's eat a duck leg!" Chu Qiao reached out and put a duck leg in a small bowl for Mo'er.
Mo'er sat down, looked at the duck leg in the bowl, picked it up with her right hand angrily, bit it hard, pouted, and her face was full of unhappiness.
"Brother sit down, Mo'er is naughty and hard for you." Chu Qiao hurriedly sandwiched a duck leg to Fei Han to express his gratitude.
"What's the matter, Mo'er is very well-behaved. He learns things quickly, has a good understanding, and is a good seedling! ”
The four of them sat together, you and I had a happy lunch, and after eating, Chu Haoran asked Feng Yi to take Mo'er down for a lunch break first, leaving Fei Han and Chu Qiao, and the three of them walked to the study together and sat down.
The three people who had just sat down saw Fei Han take out a bamboo tube from his sleeve and hand it out.
Chu Qiao picked up the bamboo tube and opened it, and took out the letter paper inside.
My Lord Himself:
Recently, the Great Wei Emperor sent Zhao's concubine, Zhao Xi'an, to the Huai River to thoroughly investigate the embankment breach. The case involved a wide range of officials, and officials along the Huai River seemed to be suspected. The businessman's absconding case is now under control, but all the remaining money has been robbed and there is nowhere to go. In Yanbei, some grain merchants' warehouses were also burned suddenly, but most of the grain and grass were transferred, and the loss was not large. When Yan Xun learned of this, he was furious and ordered a month later to go south to attack Wei.
